Spanish Settlement. After the discovery of Cuba by Christopher Columbus at october 28 of 1492, the spanish settlement started in the Island. The Colonizers arrived and once and for all they imposed customs, culture and ways, that anything had to see with who they constituted the autochthonous population until then.
Voltaire Network. Before 1959, Cuba celebrated May 20th as Independence Day.
